Hi Daniel,
Since it is not a MUST, but just a SHOULD, would it mean that it would
be acceptable to ship the manpages with the doc anyway ? If emboss
Recommends: emboss-doc, aptitude will install them together by default.
EMBOSS is a big suite which deals with biological sequences databases,
which typically will take at lot of disk space. I think that there would
be no inconvenience for the user to install emboss-doc.
On the other hand, I can also try to summarise the problem, and submit a
bug to the Policy.
What is your opinion ?
Have a nice day,
